Abstract:
We consider graphene deposited on monolayers of such transition-metal dichalcogenides like MoSe[Formula: see text], WSe[Formula: see text], MoS[Formula: see text], and WS[Formula: see text]. Our key objective in this paper is to study the impact of relative twist angle between the monolayers on the proximity-induced spin-orbit interaction and orbital phenomena in graphene. To do this we use an effective model Hamiltonian for low-energy states, taken from the available literature. The linear response theory and Green function formalism are used to calculate analytical formulas for the spin Hall effect and nonequilibrium current-induced spin polarization in the systems. In addition, we also evaluate the valley Hall effect and nonequilibrium valley polarization, and focus especially on their dependence on the twist angle. We show that the valley Hall conductivity can achieve the quantum value equal to [Formula: see text].

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
